BACKGROUND:
The Collection and Distribution (C&D) team currently operates from a rented temporary trailer situated at the South Water Treatment Plant (SWTP), under a temporary use permit that expired ten years ago and cannot be renewed.

The conditional use permit does not encompass repair crew operations or staging of heavy equipment and construction material. Additionally, the existing trailer lacks adequate facilities such as meeting room, staging areas, dining areas, locker rooms, and showers for the staff.
Recognizing these challenges, on January 24, 2022, the City Council approved the relocation and the design of a new building facility including a covered open storage structure to be accommodated in the North Water Treatment Plant located at 807 East Elkcam Circle. The North Water Treatment Plant (NWTP) property is zoned C-5, Commercial, which allows for repair crew operations and staging area for equipment and materials.
The design was completed in March 2023, the construction bid documents were published on March 31, 2023, and the bid opening took place on March 30, 2023.
